Topic: What are your top 10 cheeses? (Read 834 times)

I've searched through the forum looking for "favorite Cheeses" and haven't found that question asked. I also tried to find other heading to put this under. Having found none, I'd like to ask the question,

"what are your favorite top 10 cheeses?" and "Do you have one favorite and what is it?"

If this has been asked before, discussed to some length, or posted in another section, please forgive me. I am new.

My faves to eat are:DublinerGruyereWell aged cheddar. The older the better. I can sometimes get access to an Ontario 10 year, which is a real gem.Port Salut

I generally like all cheeses aside from blue, but these 4 are my tops. Getting artisinal cheeses is unfortunately such a rare treat for me that when I do get them, I usually end up sticking to what I like.

Cool idea for a topic. Your favourites seem to be all over the board. Blues, hard cheeses, soft cheeses, washed etc.

Velveeta was a staple in my house. Salmon sandwiches on "brown bread" with Velveeta on the side. Though, I have always found it disconcerting that the metal foil of Velveeta will grow mold, but the cheese itself will not.

Ten choices...too much, and yet...not enough. There are many cheeses which please my palate, but too many choices dilute the focus. If I had to devote my attention to just a handful, these are the ones that would carry me through thick and thin. Except for the Blue Castello, I have been able to craft reasonable facsimiles.

The thing is I like all cheeses except mainly two characteristics: Blue and any cheese that has too much of an earthy taste like camembert. Funny thing about blue cheeses is I absolutely love them in recipes though.
